A blog about the works and worlds of HP Lovecraft and my feeble attempts to illustrate them.

Wilbur

Some rather spontaneous sketches of Wilbur. In part I'd been meaning to work out how he was able to look with clothes and still go around convincingly.

I also wanted to explore how Wilbur's face could be subtly deformed, though this is actually a challenge as an illustrator; if you're too subtle with the deformations people will think you're just a sloppy artist, while on the other end of the spectrum if you go too far with the deformations you'll have something that wouldn't be able to conceal itself successfully in society, however rural that society might be.
